This is likely because they don’t want to confuse players who do not have access to Heart of Thorns or associated Living World chapters.

And do you guys think devs will put jumping puzzles in pof with the zones being large?? I hope they have 2 or more in each zone.

I don’t see why a large zone would discount the inclusion of jumping puzzles. Jumping puzzles can serve as either hidden gems for players to explore, or “weenies” in the landscape to help players navigate the maps.

And I’m glad to find another kindred spirit who enjoys jumping puzzles in Guild Wars 2!

Another reason, I would suppose, is that it would be deemed unfair to remove the Achievement for completing all the Jumping Puzzles for those that completed it, when adding new Jumping Puzzles. Or, it would be deemed unfair that some players only had to complete 34 JPs, and later players had to complete 46 JPs for the Achievement.

There are Achievements, though, for completing the newer Jumping Puzzles; they just are found in a different section of the Achievements panel.
